While talking, Mr. Antonio smiled and showed Xia De his hole cards, but at this time, both of them only had two cards in their hands:

"Look, Mr. Watson, my luck has come at last."

Star 4, [Tale in the Woods · Clown in the Woods]. When this card is the hole card, if the sum of the total points of the first two cards is not greater than 8, and the suits are different, you can choose to stop the card at this time, and the total points will be regarded as 20 points (Note).

On the card, a clown riding a unicycle is throwing five **** among the tall trees in the forest.

"What an interesting rule.

Xia De praised, and then looked at Mr. Antonio's hand. It is a common card of Sun 2, which means that special cards can take effect:

"How about the suspension?"

"Oh, of course. Since you have drawn a special rules card, how can you use the rules from time to time?"

said the playwright, and Shad noticed that his voice was a little louder, so that people around him could hear him. Originally, there were only two people playing cards at the table, but when they heard that the special rule card was in effect, three more gentlemen came over.

Xia De was also happy to wait for a while, let Mr. Antonio introduce the current situation to his acquaintances in the association, and then said:

"Then I'll continue drawing cards."

Shad showed his first two cards, only 13 points.

"Well, next luck...well, Mr. Antonio, you win.

His third card was a 10 of stars, with a total of 23 points and a direct bust. The middle-aged man who made the right choice immediately showed a smile. Although he only won the first round of the third game, the expression on his face at this time seemed to have won the entire game.

After all, the effect of special cards and the ability to win the game with this are things that can be bragged for a long time.

The onlookers were talking about Mr. Antonio's good luck, and gradually dispersed, Xia De and this gentleman continued to draw cards leisurely. The playwright's introduction to this city is not over yet, and he is full of interest at the moment:

"What I told you just now are all modern festivals and customs, but according to my research, a long time ago, the Randall Valley was not a city, when my ancestors were still in the eastern part of the old continent before they moved here, Here there is a very ancient worship of the earth, of the river, of the mountains."

This did not attract much attention from Xia De. It is really normal for river valley cities to have similar nature worship.

"20 o'clock, stop trading."

Xia De smiled and turned over the hole cards, three cards with 20 points. Mr. Antonio also carefully opened his hole cards and took a look, showing his cards:

"19 o'clock, oh, it's time to gamble on luck again... Stars 3? , but I don't think it will be easy."

Since the game has reached the final match point, the middle-aged playwright is no longer distracted by telling the story.

The two drew out their hole cards respectively, and after pressing a corner on the table to check, they looked at each other, trying to see the face of each other's cards from the other's expression.

Next, the second card was drawn. Shade was the 7 of the Sun. He noticed that the cards of the sun suit he drew today were very few, and Mr. Antonio was the 1 of the Stars.

Needless to say, continue to draw cards. Xia De is Moon 5. He knocked on the table to signal that he should stop, but he didn't show his hole card. Mr. Antonio pressed the back of the card upwards on the table, prayed softly to the upright **** of the sun [Old Man with the Lamp], and then opened his third card.

Quite unexpectedly, it turned out to be another special card. This gentleman actually drew all his special cards in three rounds.

【Forest Tales·Silver Snow Wolf】, color sun 1.

If this card is a hole card, there is no special effect; if this card is not a hole card, and the suit of the hole card is the moon, you can choose to discard the hole card or this card after the suspension, and draw a new card to replace it.

The face of the card is a wolf running in the snowy forest with its back to the face of the card. The details of the picture are very good, not only the moon and the sun appearing in the sky at the same time in the evening, but also the footprints of rabbits and wolves on the snow.

"Since there is no statement, the special effect of the newly drawn Rhodes card can be considered effective."

Xia De was quite emotional:

"For players who hold multiple special cards, this card is more interesting than the [Jester in the Woods] just now."

"But [Joker in the Woods] is more interesting for me."

Mr. Antonio said with a smile, and then went on to draw the fourth card:

"Oh, the points exploded."

His fourth card is a 10 of flowers, and the first three cards add up to 12:

"Why do you always bust at 22 o'clock today?"

Even though he said this, he was not annoyed at all, but even more excited:

"Then, I will activate the effect of [Story in the Woods·Silver Snow Wolf], discard the hole card in my hand - Moon 4, and draw again..."

He showed Shad the hole card, and then touched the deck.

"If you lose your hole cards, your total points will be 18 points. And my total points are still 19 points. If you want to beat me, you can only get 2 or 3 points."

Shad showed his cards, and Mr. Antonio narrowed his eyes slightly:

"If you had 21 points, I would probably give up, but it's only 19 points, don't worry, I have the advantage, today's luck seems to have gone to extremes, there are a lot of busts, but I also drew two special cards... .”

He flipped over his next card, and then the two gentlemen put their heads together to look at the card.

It was a card with a special pattern. The pattern on the card was a lush forest with a human face on an ancient tree. Unsurprisingly, it should be a Rhodes card from the [Tales in the Woods] series.

But unfortunately, the point is Sun 13.

"Oh, Mr. Watson, it seems that you have better luck.

He shook his head with a wry smile. Although he was a little bit reluctant, he still pulled out his two special cards and pushed them to Xia De:

"Please choose one, I am willing to bet and admit defeat. Since I can win cards from others, I can accept losing cards myself."

"You're such a nice person...I'll choose this one."

Xia De took away [The Silver Snow Wolf in the Woods Story], and then pointed to the banknotes he took out in advance and placed on the table:

"Although we bet on special cards according to the agreement, since I didn't show the cards, you agreed to bet against me. Even if I win, please take half of the bet."

As he said that, he was about to hand half of the banknotes to Mr. Antonio, but the playwright had his own pride as a Rhodes player:

"That's not okay. Since you said you were betting on special cards, and I also voluntarily agreed to the game, how can you take your money if you lose?"

He refused to accept the money no matter what he said, Xia De really couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to give up.

But then the two did not separate, but continued to play cards. Of course, with a minimum bet of 2 Copper Finneys.

1 krona is equal to 7 ore, and 1 kroner is also equal to 95 pfennigs. These three currencies are the main currencies of Kasenlik. However, due to the chaotic currency relationship before the establishment of the United Kingdom, there are other currencies besides the three mainstream currencies. Among the major currencies, the value of 1 pfennig is the lowest, while the value of the "copper pfennig" is one-thirtieth of a pfennig.

It is worth mentioning that since the value of 1 kroner is too high, kroner rarely appears in the lives of ordinary citizens. Even if the copper pfennig is not the main currency, it is widely used in the lives of citizens.

According to the exchange rate conversion, 1 copper pfennig is about 1.4 pence.

The two continued to chat about local legends and stories while playing cards, and the playwright also shared with Shad the interesting things about collecting materials for his script.

And when the sun gradually rose above the head, around eleven o'clock, Xia De finally heard the voice of "her":

[Luvia Anat gets out of the carriage and is walking down the stairs. 】

Xia De's expression remained unchanged, and instead of getting up to leave, he continued to talk to Mr. Antonio. Luvia will definitely not stay in the association for too long, because it will be lunch time soon. So Xia De planned to wait for a while and go directly to the gate of the association to wait for her to leave, so that people would not find Luvia meeting strangers in Randall Valley.

But things were a bit unexpected. Twenty minutes after "she" found Luvia, the purple-eyed girl wearing Kasenrick's characteristic flower-embellished dress and a lady's cap with feathers slanted, then Appeared on the terrace on the second floor.

Of course, most of the gentlemen here focused on their own cards, so not many people noticed her, but Luvia walked directly towards Shad and Mr. Antonio.

"May I bother you?"

She smiled and interrupted Mr. Antonio, who was telling Shad the "Verse of Elves and the Earth". After the playwright invited her to sit down, Luvia said:

"Gentlemen, hello, I heard that when you played cards just now, you used [Tales in the Woods·The Silver Snow Wolf] as a bet?"

She smiled at the corner of her mouth, and Xia De knew that she must have recognized him. After all, the witch eye shadow he applied can only be effective on strangers. Probably because she heard about the poker game a few hours ago, it reminded her of Xia De who claimed that he would definitely come to see her.

But at this time ~lightnovelpub.net~ Xia De, who was trying to surprise Luvia, was surprised by Luvia instead. Xia De had never seen her outfit today, it was really beautiful.

"Yes, ma'am, do you know this card too?"

Xia De took out the cards in the deck, and Luvia nodded:

"Yes, this card is very special. I think it will be very useful to my friends. I have a presumptuous request. I don't know, sir, if you will give me this card. I can play a very high price."
